now that i have the awesome Hygain TH3jr beam antenna up and working properly, it is time to find another use for the Antron-99 vertical base antenna. It has been a great antenna for me over the years and at one time was the single antenna that i used for 10M, 11M and 12M work. With an antenna tuner it worked quite well for me.
I stumbled across this article here where the user describes using the Antron-99 as a police scanner antenna, thinking that a BAD outdoor antenna still beats a good indoor antenna. And the Antron-99 vertical base antenna fits that bill quite nicely with a 3:1 mismatch of less it is still quite usable for that purpose. The only thing he did was remove the top section of the antenna which made it work nicely.
